[SOLVED] Turnkey Linux OpenVPN template issues?

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? I downloaded the turnkey linux openvpn template from the PVE web interface and installed it into a new LXC container.

I believe I set it up as a host correctly using the first time configuration in the console, and my port forward rule for port 1194 on my pfSense firewall/router LOOKS good, but when I create a cert and put it on a client computer, it just times out without being able to make a connection:

Maybe the solution here is to run an OpenVPN server inside of a VM instead? I had hoped to do it in a container for the sake of efficiency (particularly when it comes to RAM, I have more CPU capacity than I know what to do with).

If I were to put a Ubuntu Server LTS install in a VM, I wonder what the minimum amount of RAM I can get away with assigning for a dedicated OpenVPN VM might be, without having it swapping all the time. 512MB? Less?

I know I created it per your directions above, but when I go check, it is missing. Does it have to be created again on every reboot of the container?

Is there a good way to automate this? I could put your directions on how to create the tun above into a scrip, and run it through cron on boot, but am I assured that it will run before the OpenVPN service starts if I do this?
